My beautiful friend, Ana Quincoces, has authored an equally beautiful Cuban cookbook. (I say equally, only because the pages are filled with fabulous photos of both her and her food, and I can't think of which is more gorgeous, but that's not important right now.) Just recently, Ana was voted Miami's Hottest Chef over on Eater ...

I realize the times and dates of the TANGLED screening might not have been convenient for many of you, but thanks to those of you who entered the giveaway. The winners will receive One - Admit TWO pass to the pre-screening of the film. I know that sounds confusing, but it still means that 2 people get in. So start looking for a friend to take! ...
TANGLED – A Giveaway.
All four of my kids are grown now, but it wasn't too long ago that we religiously made plans to watch whatever new Disney offering was available. In fact, we haven't missed a Disney film yet. You know that we love All Things Disney (especially Disneyland, see my Disney Scavenger Hunt as proof). That love affair started for me when I was ...
Art Attack! – A Winner
I feel so lucky to have been able to share my friend, Maria Soto Robbins with you all. I think that for me, this is one of the richest rewards of blogging. I get to share, not just my life, but the people I've met along the way. I hope you all continue to enjoy Maria's art. The winner of one of Maria's gorgeous art pendants ...
Art Attack! – A Giveaway
One of the benefits of living my life so publicly on the blogosphere is that I get to meet some amazing people online. (Yes, I know how it sounds, but believe me, the folks I meet through My Big, Fat, Cuban Family are wonderful!) Maria Soto Robbins is one of those. Here is her blog. We had been friends on Facebook and she has been a faithful reader ...

I celebrated my 4th blogging anniversary (blogaversary?) at the beginning of this month. I appreciate that so many of you sent congratulatory emails and posted here and wrote happy things on my Facebook wall.

Cada Dia con Marta Maria
I have been blogging now for 4 years and I'm celebrating! (It seems I'm always celebrating something, but that's not important right now.) I started this blog on October 1st, 2006. I never pictured I'd still be going four years later. Four years, people! I thought by now I would have run out of stuff to write about. But, ...
When is a Pitbull NOT a pitbull?
It seems that lately I've been getting invited to all kinds of "events"- apparently bloggers are the new press. Who knew? Iwas invited by a fellow Latina blogger, Ana Flores from Spanglish Baby (Thanks again, Ana!) to come to the launch of the new Victoria's Secret perfume called Bombshell. It turns out that one of ...
